Spikes by the Thousands Keep NAHB, Associations Growing

 

Show Spikes that you appreciate them before the Spike Party rolls around. Show them you appreciate them during Spike Appreciation Month.

 

More than 21,000 Spike Club Members are helping our industry, their locals and the NAHB federation grow this year. In addition, more than 28,000 new recruiters are working on earning their Spike status. 

Spikes recruit new HBA and NAHB members, help retain current members and have a vested interest in the success of their local associations and the federation as a whole.  Their valuable contributions provide a continuous source of revenue, networking opportunities and leadership, which builds the foundation for NAHB’s success as the voice of the home building industry. 

Don’t let their efforts go unnoticed. Thank your Spikes in ways big and small this November — Spike Appreciation Month. 

A special congratulations is being extended to the thousands of Spikes who, as active recruiters, have qualified for tickets to the once-a-year Spike Party at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando.

Show your appreciation for the contribution your Spikes bring to your association and NAHB. Plan an event or activity for Spike Appreciation Month. It's not too late.

Resources are available in the 3-in-1 Membership Planning Kit and at www.nahb.org/spikeappreciation.

For more information, e-mail Abbey Weiss at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8337.
